Abstract

1-WP06-002 - Software makes it possible to evaluate and optimize the load capacity, mass flow rate and mechanical losses of individual components of the lubrication system. The software incorporates an optimisation of the thrust bearing that is based on genetic algorithms in combination with an efficient computational model of thrust bearing lubrication and heat transfer. The presented evolutionary optimisation approach makes it possible to design a bearing with exceptional performance under both specific and extreme operating conditions. The optimisation approach is applied in the development of a journal and thrust bearings and bearing friction losses decreased by approximately 30% compared to serial lubricating system. At the same time, there is no significant decrease in the bearing ability to operate under off-design operating conditions. The software includes unique algorithms incorporated into guide user interface.
